Four Remarkable Filmmakers
by Betty Jo Tucker

On September 2nd, filmmakers Vohn Regensburger, Wash Westmoreland, Richard Glatzer, and Chris Bruno drop by Movie Addict Headquarters to talk about their new movies: A Remarkable Life and The Last of Robin Hood. Regensburger is the writer/director of the first film, which stars Bruno, who also helped with the screenplay and served as one of the producers. Glatzer and Westmoreland are the writers/directors of the second offering to be discussed. Film critic Mack Bates will co-host.

A Remarkable Life tells the story of a man who finds his life falling apart and is forced to examine his identity, his manhood and his sense of self. Lenny (portrayed by Chris Bruno) faces loss of his job, a son with Asperger’s Syndrome, and a wife who’s fallen in love with the son’s female doctor. Despite these serious issues, it’s a highly entertaining movie -- but one that gives viewers a lot to think about. Director Regensburger also composed the impressive music score for the film, just as he did for his first film, Last of the Romantics.

The Last of Robin Hood follows Errol Flynn’s scandalous affair with a star-struck teenage girl. Kevin Kline plays Flynn -- but not the heartthrob of The Adventures of Robin Hood. This is Flynn after the years of boozing and philandering have taken their toll. Dakota Fanning plays the mature-looking youngster, and Susan Sarandon portrays her mother who enabled the affair. This fascinating but disturbing movie deals with fame and the high price it can demand. Glatzer and Westmoreland have also written and directed Quinceanera, Pedro, The Fluffer and Grief.     

“Four Remarkable Filmmakers” airs on BlogTalkRadio at 4 p.m. Eastern Time  (1 p.m. Pacific Time) on Tuesday, September 2, 2014. During the live show, listeners are invited to call in and to participate in a chat. An archived segment will also be available.
